UNSPSC 42331600: Veterinary

Kits for use by veterinary.

UNSPSC 42331600 Veterinary services, a Class code, encompasses companion-animal and equine clinical services, spay/neuter and emergency surgical procedures, vaccination and preventive care, and specialized programs such as trap-neuter-vaccinate-release operations that state and local governments procure for municipal animal shelters, county animal control operations, university research facilities, and racing commissions. Recent solicitations show cities and counties contracting directly with licensed veterinarians and veterinary clinics for high-volume surgical services, emergency off-hours care, relief coverage, and community health initiatives; university agriculture programs and state racing authorities procuring equine and livestock veterinary support; and animal rescue organizations and nonprofit operators bidding to deliver subsidized vaccination, microchip, and humane-euthanasia services within shelter systems.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal animal-care departments (City of San Antonio, City of Fort Worth), county animal services and domestic animal divisions (Collier County Florida, Pinal County Arizona, San Mateo County California), public universities (Prairie View A&M), and specialized state agencies (Texas Racing Commission). San Antonio has emerged as a particularly active buyer, posting multiple RFPs and RFAs in July 2026 alone—for spay/neuter contract veterinarians ($1,300 per shift, with a minimum performance expectation of 10 to 20 surgeries daily), emergency care services, community vaccine and microchip clinics ($20 per qualifying animal served), and a rescue partner incentive program ($200 per animal pulled). Other notable recent activity includes Collier County's first-ever formal trap-neuter-vaccinate-release program (ITN 26-8652, March 2026, reimbursement tiered at $5 to $25 per cat processed), Pinal County's request for as-needed comprehensive veterinary services (RFP 264131, June 2026, with a minimum five-year high-volume spay/neuter requirement), and San Mateo County's informal RFP for relief mobile veterinary services to underserved populations (RFP 2026RFPINFORMAL00352, July 2026, with local-business and small-business preferential points available). The Texas Racing Commission has posted concurrent RFQs for both veterinarians and veterinary technicians at state-licensed horse racetracks, with compensation at $125 per hour for veterinarians (fiscal-year cap $150,000 per contract) and $35–$50 per hour for technicians. Opportunities concentrate in Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California, reflecting population centers and established animal-control infrastructure.
